But what if no one spots your achievement? What if you continue working in your own little space, make very good progress yet at the end of the day no one notices? Ministry life can also be like this. Workers can go unappreciated by the very people you serve in the name of the Lord.
Well, I have great news for you. While the people around you may not be aware of what you do, God is watching you. He knows.
I have better things in mind for you -- salvation things! God doesn't miss anything. He knows perfectly well all the love you've shown him by helping needy Christians, and that you keep at it. (Hebrews 6:10, MSG)God sees what you do, He knows the intention of your heart and He is proud of you. I would personally like the God of all creation to be proud of me than get the approval of the people around me.
And now I want each of you to extend that same intensity toward a full-bodied hope, and keep at it till the finish. Don't drag your feet. Be like those who stay the course with committed faith and then get everything promised to them. (Hebrews 6:11-12, MSG)
